B'nai B'rith leadership joined the rest of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations of the United States on a mission to Buenos Aires to express solidarity in their concerns over the ongoing AMIA bombing investigation, particularly the unresolved death of former prosecutor Alberto Nisman.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in an article published last month linked Jewish leaders to an international conspiracy against the government and railed against the late AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman on Twitter to her more than 3.7 million followers. Nisman had charged that Argentina’s government covered up Iran’s role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center, which killed 85 and injured 300. Argentina’s courts have dismissed Nisman’s accusations.On her tweet, Kirchner accused Nisman of saying during meetings with Jewish community leaders that Paul Singer, a Jewish-American billionaire who heads a U.S. hedge fund, would provide billions of dollars to prevent Argentina from signing a memorandum of understanding with Iran on jointly investigating the AMIA bombing. The memorandum, which has received international criticism, was signed in January 2013.Last week, a lawsuit alleging treason against Argentine Jewish leaders and Singer was sent to a prosecutor, who said he will investigate.

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations also demanded that the investigation into the mysterious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman “be pursued in a thorough, dedicated, and transparent way.”

Representatives from the NGO founded in 1956 vowed to help “in any way deemed appropriate.” “The leaders of the Jewish community in Argentina have deep concerns about recent events that raise the specter of anti-Semitism and, in particular, the serious charges leveled against leaders of the community,” the organization said in a press release.

On Oct. 13, 2014, B'nai B'rith celebrated 171 years of service to the global Jewish community.

To celebrate, B'nai B'rith International posted a timeline of major events (seen below), but commemorated the milestone by conducting business as usual: promoting Jewish unity and continuity, staunchly defending the State of Israel, tirelessly advocating on behalf of senior citizens and conducting disaster relief in 50 countries around the world.

Israel's new top diplomat to Brazil, Reda Mansour, could be described as a Renaissance Man, having found professional success as a historian, poet and politician.

According to a syndicated story that appeared in Agencia Judia de Noticas and Iton Gadol, Mansour attributes some of his success to an upbringing in B'nai B'rith, "which encouraged respect for cultural differences and promoting exchange and understanding."
